Baltimore City Council President Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake introduced resolutions yesterday asking the city's police commissioner to brief the council on the effect of reduced police overtime on Baltimore's homicide rate, a plan to redraw police district lines and the effectiveness of the city's blue-light crime cameras. At a City Council lunch, Rawlings-Blake said current police district lines are outdated and could be responsible for a "structural deficit" in police overtime spending.

Pittsburgh -- The Navy football team is leaving a lot of people winded, including opposing teams such as Pittsburgh, which couldn't find a way to beat the smaller, slower and less-than-perfect Midshipmen on Wednesday night. Navy again found a way to win when all signs said it shouldn't. The Mids won in overtime for the first time - in double overtime - beating Pitt, 48-45, just before the clock struck midnight. It was another wild win, and in its way, an impressive one. "We were due for a win like this," Navy coach Paul Johnson said.

One day after the most bizarre defeat in his nine seasons as coach of the Ravens, Brian Billick wouldn't inflame the controversy surrounding Cleveland Browns kicker Phil Dawson's game-tying, 51-yard field goal at the end of regulation. But Billick didn't exactly douse it, either. Billick said the team would express to the NFL its "concerns" about the way the field officials reversed the call after consulting with the replay official about procedure. He displayed his trademark sarcasm in talking about whether his team was prepared to go back on the field for overtime.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Jimmie Johnson got help holding off Jeff Gordon yesterday in a rematch of teammates from a source roaring out of the blue: Ryan Newman, who hasn't won a Nextel Cup race in more than two years. Then it was all Johnson could do to hold off Newman in a green-white-checkered overtime finish of the Subway 500 at Martinsville Speedway, while Gordon finished third. Johnson, with his seventh win this season, shaved Gordon's lead in NASCAR's Chase for the Nextel Cup by 15 points to 53, with four races remaining.

Ravens@Chargers Sunday, 4:15 p.m., Ch. 13, 1090 AM, 97.9 FM Line: Chargers by 9 1/2 BIZARRE FINISH In one of the strangest endings in NFL history, the Ravens walked off the field thinking they had won only to return to the field and lose in overtime. :26 -- Matt Stover's 47-yard field goal gave the Ravens a 30-27 lead. :00 --- Phil Dawson's 51-yard field-goal attempt was ruled no good by one official underneath the upright. But after a discussion lasting nearly five minutes, referee Pete Morelli ruled that the field goal was good because it had bounced off the supporting post, tying the game at 30 and sending it to overtime.

NEW ORLEANS -- With less than a second left in overtime and Nevada's two-possession lead guaranteeing victory, coach Mark Fox wrapped an arm around senior forward Nick Fazekas and whispered into his ear. "I told him I was proud of him," Fox said after the Wolf Pack's 77-71 victory over Creighton yesterday. "I told him that it would come back to him. And that he gets to play another day." Fazekas, the cornerstone of Nevada's ascension to national prominence the past four seasons, watched the final 3:06 of overtime from the bench after fouling out. As he sat, guards Kyle Shiloh, Marcelus Kemp and Ramon Sessions combined to score the No. 7 seed Wolf Pack's final 14 points.

Senior attackman Justin Martinelli and the Mount Hebron boys lacrosse team claimed the Howard County championship with a 9-8 double-overtime win at Centennial last night. Martinelli's wraparound goal in the closing minute of the second four-minute overtime period proved to be the game-winner for the defending Class 3A-2A state champion Vikings, who scored two goals in the final two minutes of regulation to get even and eventually avenge an 8-7 overtime loss to the Eagles during the regular season.

But a botched final regulation drive deep into Ravens territory was followed by a major blown defensive assignment in overtime.The result was another defeat, as the Falcons' 19-13 overtime loss left Atlanta 0-4 and searching for answers.
